Overview

• Saka netted England’s third in the 3-0 win over Wales at Wembley, his 13th international goal and a new high for an Arsenal men’s player, surpassing Cliff Bastin.
• The winger has scored in three straight appearances for club and country, following goals against Olympiacos and West Ham.
• He said he is starting to feel good again but admitted he is not yet at his sharpest after missing time with a hamstring issue.
• Thomas Tuchel praised the display but stressed Saka still needs to rebuild rhythm and stamina, with his recall influenced by Noni Madueke’s injury.
• England managed his workload with an early substitution around 70 minutes, with a World Cup qualifier in Latvia next before he returns to Arsenal duties.
